Another three great songs. Alphabeat were a fun, kitsch little band with some great songs ('Boyfriend' was my favourite).

It's an excellent set of results so far, still have 10 of my top 14 remaining, with only 4 of my bottom 18 left! I think my faves which have gone so far (Hot Chip, Metallica, Dre) have done really well to finish so high.
I enjoyed Fascination a lot for about 10 listens and now consider it super annoying and I'd never want to hear it. I suspect I'll be waiting a while for the last song here I genuinely dislike to appear. This post has been edited by RabbitFurCoat: 28th March 2024, 03:53 PM |

I've always been a bit miffed that the Tove Lo song did so well in remix form when the original is such a fantastic pop song

a few of my top tracks have departed already, but re: the (fab) Grace record, I'm not sure I ever knew that Rob Davis co-wrote it, he of Mud-fame and writer of a few huge dance tracks in the 90's/00's. So, from Tiger Feet and still Not Over Yet in the 90's...

Save Tonight Oh My God yeah, Sweet Disposition not so much. It's fine but it's one of those songs I always feel everyone else loves much more than I do.

Nothing overly wrong with Save Tonight but I got sooo bored of hearing it in its first 6 months of release that even now I really have no desire to listen it! Which was enough to earn it my +1 in such a strong final.

Oh My God the original the best and then there was Mark Ronsons animated wet dream version with Lily Allen, making an animated character sexy.

'Birdhouse In My Soul' is a brilliant song, if slightly bonkers.
'Overload' is good but not amongst the best in the Sugababes' discography. 'The Rockafeller Skank' is obviously a dance classic, but I think I'd rate the other three of the singles from the album above it. |

On reflection, I should have scored Birdhouse In Your Soul a fair bit higher. Didn't know it too well before this rate but it's grown on me.
